Committee,

the Forum with that of the social
studies classes of the college,

mobilization of industry as a measure of national defense preparation;
that the Forum go on record involving equal responsibility by all

War Influence Increases
It Is interesting to notice that
at this time the war note began to
creep into everything. Words and
phrases such as "enlist," "Don't be a
slacker", "over the top" were used
in everything including appeals to
pay the student tax ($5.00), to join

duty of the teacher toward his pupils
may serve as an example;
"There is a twofold obligation on
the part of the teacher. First, it is
essential that we defend the intellectual frontier of our democracy.
We must 'dig ourselves into' their
trenches and hold them" . . .
The war dominated all activity.
Women Fill Campus
Opportunities were not lacking for
the women of the college who
wanted to serve. A sewing room was
established in the basement of
Huested Hall where women might go
and sew bandages to be used overseas by the Red Cross.
The absence of men from the
campus began to make itself felt.

For the second time in its history,
State College finds itself affected by
a national conscription plan. Not
since the days of the World War
have the faculty and students found
themselves in a position where they
are subject to call to serve in the
armed forces of the United States.
Wednesday, the 16th of October,
more than 175 students and 13
members of the faculty will register
in accordance with the provisions of
the Selective Service Plan of Registration. These men, who fall within
the 21-35 age limits, will be subject
to the draft.
Registration Aid
To aid the registration of non-residents among the college students, a
board of registrants has been appointed by John M. Sayles, president
of the college. Included on this board
are Dr. Ralph A. Beaver, Dr. Howard
A. Dobell, Dr. Oscar Lanford and Dr.
Robert Rienow. The board will serve
to register those members of the student body who are not residents of
the Capital District. Commuters and
Albany boys who fall under the provisions of the act will register at their
regular registration booths. The
board expects to handle the registration of 130 men.

contracts is October 15.
A tentative schedule for the assembling of the 172-page year book
has been set. The book will go to
press on March 1, and delivery is
certain by Moving-up Day, according to Bull. The Student Association
will vote on the Pedagogue "mosts"

The staff will be working under

Up on a hill in Troy, there dwells
a group of boys intent on becoming
engineers. Taken all together, they
constitute the student body of the
Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute.
Among these boys there are several
ambitious young gentlemen who
gather once a1 week to publish the
Rensselaer
Polytechnic,
RPI's
newspaper. And thereby hangs a
tale.
Last week the Polytechnic printed a column of advice to its
freshman class. In that column wua
included the suggestion that those
of RPI's men who seek "association
with the fairer sex" would do well
to come to "Albany State"—State
College in other words. After this,
they cautioned their readers In the
following words:
"Expeditions to Albany State
should be made in a group as the
Individual is likely to be mobbed.
You see—State's women are rather
in favor of variety too, and any
little bit is pounced upon."
As this reader looks back on the
above statement with a Jaundiced
eye, the only part of it that seems
to have any semblance of truth is
the phrase referring to the RPI
boys as "any little bit."
It must be admitted, however,
that It's nice to know these things.

Campus Gets Barracks
In the fall of 1918, the Student
Army Training Corps was first introduced to the college. Under the supervision of the federal government,
a training camp was established on
the campus in which students who
were attending the college could at
the same time receive military training. A barracks and a mess hall were
built on the spot where the Milne
School and Page Hall now stand.
At that time, there were about 110
men In the college. Of them, ninetyone passed their physical exams and
were admitted into the SATO, All
the men left as the NKWH, which

opportunity for service. The need is
great, the opportunity is at hand,
and the men must, and will respond."

were extraordinary ones. They pro-
